How funny that my last post was about a year ago and it was about Todai. I hardly ever go there and I just went there on Jan. 3 for my birthday. Their food is consistantly excellent and the staff is great.

I realized tonight that I'm spending way too much time on Facebook, and there are other venues I never go to much, like Live Journal. Yet I hesistate to connect that site to this one. Why am I so open in some places and so closed in others?

I've been working hard on my freelance writing, trying to figure out Google Adsense and boost my income back to a living wage. It's not easy. I'm spending a lot of time writing for Hubpages, Squidoo, and a new site called Wizzly or Wizzy or some strange name. I posted one article there. If anyone wants to start throwing money my way, I'm definitely going to head in that direction.

I have six Etsy shops now, most of them virtually empty. I hate pouring all my energy into non-productive things. But even earning a few pennies is better than earning nothing. So I want to get some things listed for Valentine's Day, the next holiday people might be shopping for.

My New Year's resolutions are avoiding fast food as much as I can. If I'm a passenger and I get dragged there I'll eat, but I'm not going to initiate any trips my self, and since I don't have a motorized vehicle anymore, I'll be less tempted.

I've started riding my bike again too, which isn't so much a resolution, as a desperate measure to stop gaining weight. Darn menopause anyway. As if the deck wasn't already loaded against me.

Let's see, what else. I have 84 blogs on Blogger. I just updated them all. One of my resolutions is to keep better track of those. I swear I need secretary.

I just posted a new VLOG to youtube. Busy busy. But today I was such a slacker. I didn't even take a daily self portrait. It's not midnight yet so I guess I'll go do that now. Catch you later (if anyone is stilil reading).
